Climate change is becoming less of a concern for Americans, at least according the Gallup annual Environment survey.

According to the poll, only 32 percent of our fellow citizens are personally worried a lot about climate change or global warming (down from 34 percent in 2014), which clocks in at the bottom of the list of six environmental problems provided by Gallup to respondents. In contrast, at the top of the list, 55 percent of those surveyed worry a great deal about drinking water pollution (although down from 60 percent last year).

The Gallup poll findings — which may seem surprising given the aggressive climate change push by the Obama administration, the United Nations, the media, academia, and other institutions — were derived from telephone interviews (split 50-50 between landline and mobile phones), with about 1,000 randomly selected adults in all 50 states conducted in early March.

The results seem to be consistent to some extent with other polling data from 2014, as the Inquisitr previously reported. According to one survey from Yale University, which also suggested that skepticism was on the rise, while 53 percent are some what or very worried about the consequences of climate change, less than 50 percent of Americans agreed that human activity is the primary factor in climate change, and 37 percent believe natural variations to the climate are at fault for the warming trend. In another survey, the Pew Research Center found that only 28 percent believe “dealing with global warming” is a top priority, which has gone down from 38 percent in 2007.

Commenting on the latest climate change opinion results, Gallup offering this possible explanation.

“[T]he nature of the environmental agenda may indirectly be influencing Americans’ concern. The primary focus of the environmental movement has shifted toward long-term threats like global warming — issues about which Americans tend to worry less than about more immediate threats like pollution. Importantly, even as global warming has received greater attention as an environmental problem from politicians and the media in recent years, Americans’ worry about it is no higher now than when Gallup first asked about it in 1989.”

Gallup also noted that environmental issues have an inverse relationship to a healthy economy. In other words, people give the environment a lesser priority when the economy is in the doldrums and many are still jobless.

As you might imagine, the results also revealed sharp differences in concerns about climate change among Republicans and Democrats, including those leaning in either ideological direction.

One of many lawmakers still very concerned about climate change and global warming — terms that the Associated Press now says can be used interchangeably — is California Congresswoman Barbara Lee. This week, Rep. Lee introduced a resolution in the U.S. House suggesting that dangerous effects of climate change leading to famine and drought could force women in developing countries to trade sex for food.

America Is Becoming Lukewarm To Climate Change, Environmental Poll Suggests is an article from: The Inquisitr News

John Leo Davis Jr., is just as sorry as he can be for fatally stabbing his wife, Michele Davis, to death in their home in Goodyear, Arizona. The Daily Mail is reporting now that John Leo Davis was extremely apologetic and cried like a baby when he called 911 to report murdering his wife. His tears didn’t make a difference. Police still charged him with first-degree murder. John Leo Davis Jr., is currently being held in the Maricopa County Jail on $2 million bond.

Court records show that the stabbing death of Michele Davis occurred after John Leo Davis Jr., slapped his son in the face for playing video games. When the boy alerted his mother about the assault, she confronted John Leo Davis Jr., and paid with her life.

According to the boy, the couple began arguing, and then all of a sudden John Leo Davis chased his wife around the house with the knife. The chase ended at the front door of the home, where investigators found the victim with multiple stab wounds to the back. She was lying unresponsive in a pool of blood when law enforcement officials arrived, The Arizona Republic reports.

35-year old Michele Davis was transported to a local hospital where she died from her injuries. Since the attack, a total of seven children were taken into custody and placed in the home of family members. Court records also show that a 16-year old child was not at home when the fatal incident took place. John and Michele Davis had just three children together out of a total of eight children.

John Leo Davis was not only abusive to his children and his wife. A background check suggests that John Leo Davis has a criminal history involving multiple domestic violence related incidents. According to The Daily Mail, those charges involved his now deceased wife Michele Davis and two other women from two previous relationships.

Family and friends of Michele Erlick Davis are devastated by the loss. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help her children.

“Michele was tragically killed yesterday, 3/26/15, leaving behind 8 wonderful children. I have set up this gofundme account in hopes that we can raise money to help off-set the funeral costs and also help support the transition with her children who are left behind. We appreciate your continued prayers and support in this difficult time and your willingness to help Michele and her children.”

Today’s news is often filled with terrible stories of abuse, hatred, and violence within the family unit. Most homicides are committed by someone that you know. Just yesterday, Inquisitr reported on the case of a dad who stands accused in the disappearance of his son. The father, Pierre Collins, has denied having any knowledge about his son disappearance. The 10-year-old boy, Barway Collins, is still missing.

Earlier this year, Inquisitr also reported on the murder of Bell Gardens Mayor Daniel Crespo. The Crespo’s life was painted as a picture perfect family until it was revealed that Mayor Daniel Crespo was not the people thought he was. At home, domestic violence was a staple in the home. On the last night of his life, Crespo physically hit his son and was shot and killed by his wife, Lyvette Crespo.

John Leo Davis, Michele Erlick Davis: Goodyear Man Stabs Wife To Death In Arizona Home As Kids Watched In Horror is an article from: The Inquisitr News

A bride is charged with shooting and killing her niece on her wedding night after getting into an argument at the post-wedding celebration. Christina George-Harvan, 30, was celebrating after her wedding at a bar with niece Katelyn Francis, 21. However, the celebratory night took a turn for the worse when the bride, groom, and Francis got into an argument over who should drive home. Bride Christina is charged with third degree murder and involuntary manslaughter after she shot her niece inside her new husband’s van during the argument.

The Daily Mail reports that Christina and Katelyn started the evening on good terms. The newlywed and her niece were getting along well and drinking at the Jimmy K’s bar in New Brighton, Pennsylvania, after the wedding ceremony. The bride recalls how happy she was prior to the incident and how much she cared for her niece.

“I was happy … she was so cute. We were only nine years apart. The first thing she did was say, ‘Aunt Tina, I’m so happy for you,’ and gave me a big hug.”

However, at some point in the evening, the bride and groom began to drink heavily. As the couple continued to drink they became somewhat belligerent and wanted to drive home. As the groom, Jeremy, exited the bar to attempt to drive home, Francis began arguing with them and offered to be their designated driver. Christina says that Francis suggested she drive them home, but in their drunken state they declined. Francis pressed the couple and Christina says she followed them to their vehicle. Once inside the vehicle, Christina says things became frantic.

The bride says that as Francis was arguing with the groom over who should drive home, she noticed a gun in her husband’s glove compartment. She said she thought to herself, “I gotta move this gun.” However, in the process of moving the gun in the passengers side of the vehicle, it discharged, hitting Francis, who was standing outside of the driver’s side of the vehicle, and killing her.

“When I turned around, the glove box is open and I see this gun. I think I gotta move this gun. I go get it out of the glove box to move it and boom the gun goes off.”

CBS notes that bride Christina acknowledges that she was the one holding the gun when it went off, but says she didn’t pull the trigger. Therefore, the defense had a Former Pennsylvania State Trooper, Frederick Wentling, testify on how easy it is to discharge a weapon if inexperienced in handling a gun.

“If you put your thumb in … if you pick it up sideways, and put your thumb in there and pull it back, it will discharge. It’s supposed to. It doesn’t know what’s pulling it to the rear.”

The new bride says that she was devastated by what happened to her cousin and that it was all a terrible accident.

“I felt devastated. It was like a nightmare. Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life and my niece is dead.”

The defense team says that the shooting was entirely accidental and are seeking an acquittal based on the “excusable homicide by misadventure” doctrine. This doctrine states that the defendant was careless but did not have criminal intent.

Do you think the drunken gun-wielding bride should be found guilty of third degree murder or involuntary manslaughter in the case? Or do you think the bride’s case should be acquitted based on the misadventure doctrine?

With only a few short days until AMC’s The Walking Dead Season 5 finale, there are plenty of fans worrying about how it will go down. Will any fan favorites die? How will Rick’s recent outburst affect the people of Alexandria? Why are there walkers wandering around with the letter “W” carved into their forehead? And, will Morgan ever catch up with Rick again?

Another important question to ask though is, do you have your party organized yet? While die hard Walking Dead fans have spent the entire season planning this event, don’t fear because The Walking Dead is one of the easiest TV shows to prepare a finale party for! With zombies being all the rage nowadays, it is easy to grab zombie-inspired party decorations, but what about tailoring your party specifically to The Walking Dead Season 5 finale? Well, just keep reading…

Costume ideas are easy for your Walking Dead Season 5 finale party — just think dirty, tattered, and bloody and you are half way there. While it is easy enough to dress as a walker, why not put a little extra thought into it and celebrate the Season 5 finale with a Season 5 character? Considering we lost both Beth Greene and Noah this season, why not don Beth’s telltale braids or hospital scrubs? For Noah, it gets a little trickier considering he was a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy, but you could always get creative and recreate the revolving doors in which he met his demise. Other significant characters from The Walking Dead Season 5 could include Carol’s “sweet and innocent grandma” look she is currently rocking at Alexandria, Rick Grimes in all his bearded glory and the Walking Dead fallback, Daryl Dixon, complete with his iconic crossbow.

How about something to eat at your Walking Dead Season 5 finale party? There are plenty of quick and easy ideas based not only on Season 5, but on general zombie grossness. Why not try:

• Meatballs, spaghetti and hot dogs as a big old messy bowl of blood and guts?
• Vanilla pudding with a drop of black food coloring can instantly substitute for brains. Of course, just having giant tubs of chocolate pudding sitting around is an even quicker dessert idea — especially if one of your guests has come dressed as Carl
• Change the labels on your ketchup and mustard bottles to ‘walker blood’ and ‘walker ooze’
• Cheese in a can — just the way Michonne likes it
• Lollypops. Because thanks to the creepy cop at Slabtown, we can no longer look at them in quite the same way again
• Gingerbread walkers. Use red icing to decorate them and don’t worry if you break any, thanks to the body parts Daryl found last week, they will come in handy at your Walking Dead finale party
• Meatloaf. Use onion, eggs, bacon, olives and ketchup to decorate your gruesome walker face. In fact, you could get extremely creative with this idea and mold your meatloaf into any body part you like. Can anyone say Shish ka-BOB?

What about something to drink? At your Walking Dead Season 5 finale party you could always make up body part punch using your favorite punch recipe. Just throw in some gummy eyeballs and body parts to complete it. Then there is the classic zombie cocktail that literally looks like floating brains. In a pinch though, any red, yellow or green soda can be used under the pretense of zombie blood or gore.

Are you planning a Walking Dead Season 5 finale party? Or will you be watching the show alone? Have you got any ideas on what is the perfect accompaniment to the Walking Dead Season 5 finale? Let us know by commenting below.

Has Kris Jenner decided to rekindle her relationship with Corey Gamble?

According to Radar Online, the 59-year-old “momager” and the 33-year-old man are back together again.

However, an inside source reportedly told Radar that it’s more of a physical relationship than emotional.

“Corey is Kris’s go-to because he gives her the validation that she needs. He tells her that she is beautiful and gives her what she wants physically. But emotionally he is just not there for her.”

The insider further explained that Kris Jenner is actually focused more on the relationship issues that have emerged between two of her children, Rob and Kim Kardashian.

According to the source, her dedication to renovating Kylie Jenner’s new home is part of Kris’ effort to “salvage the relationships with her children that still care about her.”

The insider also claims that, with her youngest child quickly approaching adulthood, Kris is also struggling with the inevitable arrival of an empty nest.

“[Kris Jenner] is also realizing that very soon Kylie will be gone for good too and she will be all alone in her home for the first time ever.”

Although there are quite a few reports that claim Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble split, an inside source told E! News that they were not true.

— E! Online (@eonline) March 27, 2015

On the contrary, an insider explained to E! News that Kris and Corey were very compatible and doing well primarily because of their shared profession.

“Kris and Corey are just a great match. First of all, they do the same thing – managing – and have so much in common. He gets her world and she gets his world. It is kind is cool and refreshing for both of them. He understands her job – the security, the paparazzi, the media. They do the same things and they know all the same people. It makes things so easy.”

On Thursday, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble were spotted enjoying lunch together in Beverly Hills. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, they were first romantically linked back in November of 2014.

According to Radar Online, Kris Jenner and her former husband Bruce finalized their divorce — ending a 22-year marriage — in December 2014. The couple married in April 1991, nearly one month after Kris finalized her divorce from her first husband Robert Kardashian.

Indiana State Representative Vanessa Summers, a Democrat and African-American woman, caused a stir during the House floor debate over the Religious Freedom Bill after she called out a fellow GOP colleague’s son as a future racist. However, there is one problem with Summers’ assessment of Representative Jud McMillin’s son: he is only 18-months-old.

An audio recording of the incident was uploaded to SoundCloud by IndyPolitics that featured the controversial clip.

In the recording you can hear Summers disturbing comments about the small child. Summers notes that the baby was scared of her “because of her color,” noting the child’s actions were “horrible.”

“I love his little son, but he’s scared of me because of my color — and that’s horrible.”

Many in the audience, Democrat and Republican alike, seemed to find Summers’ comment in poor taste. Groaning and gasping could be heard in the background almost immediately after Summers made the controversial statement. In response to the gasps, Summers pressed forward reiterating that she thought the child would become prejudiced if nothing is done now.

“It’s true. And that’s something we are going to work on. … I asked him please, ‘Introduce your child to some people of color so he won’t live his life as a prejudiced person.’ I would like for you all to not vote for this bill.”

After calling out the baby on the House floor, it didn’t stop there. When asked about the incident, Summers stuck by her response, noting that the child looked at her like she was “a monster.”

“He looked at me like I was a monster and turned around and cried. And I told him you need to introduce your child to some people that are dark-skinned so he will not be scared.”

However, as Representative McMillin pointed out, his son was simply scared because he had never met the woman before, not because of her skin color. In fact, McMillin says he doesn’t even remember anything out of the ordinary when his baby met Summers.

“He reacted the same way he reacts with anybody brand new, he buries his head in his dad’s shoulder. Whoever it is, it’s what he does. He’s an 18-month-old kid; he’s in a new environment up here in the place like the Statehouse but doesn’t know anybody. I honestly don’t remember anything out of the ordinary.”

What do you think about Summers’ comments about an 18-month-old baby potentially treating her differently because of her skin color? Can a baby be racist?

Democrat State Rep Calls GOP Colleague’s Son Racist, But There Is One Problem is an article from: The Inquisitr News

We all like having the latest technology and features, but is Apple’s new operating system, iOS 8, worth upgrading to? Let’s look at the facts: Apple’s last major update, iOS 7, got shade thrown at it by consumers for the fact that its newly-enhanced graphics were eating up battery life and slowing down the speed of devices it ran on. That’s not necessarily to say that iOS 8 will do the same thing, but it’s something to consider before updating.

Among some of iOS 8’s new features (specifically, iOS 8.2) are an Application for the Apple Watch and an assortment of bug fixes that patch up complaints about older versions of iOS 8. The previous iOS incarnation needed about 1 GB worth of wiggle room to install and run.

On the more positive side, Forbes notes that iOS 8 is more secure than previous versions, as iOS version 8.1.1 fixed a bug that would allow anyone to access an iPhone by using the fingerprint sensor from the lock screen. That being said, Forbes also added that any device not yet running version 8.1.1 is still vulnerable to the hack.

Among other enhancements, Apple devices running iOS 8 also have the ability to speak into their phones and send their recorded voices as a text messages. This allows users to, for example, record a song playing overhead in a store and then send it to friends. Another new feature is the Health app, which can track a phone user’s heart rate and other vital statistics, such as calories burned and steps walked.

Tech site Gizmodo also added that developers are able to link applications to a centralized database that stores your personal health information.

The famous/infamous spotlight search (which allows you to scour your device for contacts, apps, music, and more) is now able to pull up suggested web pages related to your search query. Gizmodo noted that Mac users are now able to send texts from their iPhones to their Macs, and a new service called Handoff will allow you to, for instance, begin an email on your Mac and then finish it on your iPhone or iPod.

So, should you upgrade your device to iOS 8? That’s up to you, but the features listed definitely sound interesting. It’s possible iOS 8 will be a bit of a memory hog on your device, but with such an array of powerful new features, it might just be worth it.

The first teaser trailer for the new James Bond film, Spectre, can now be viewed online.

The 1 1/2-minute clip was released on the James Bond 007 YouTube channel Friday.

The video description provides a brief synopsis of the film and a story line that was touched on and emphasized in one way or another throughout the Spectre teaser trailer.

“A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.”

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, the Spectre teaser trailer confirms that the childhood of James Bond (which was briefly touched in the 2012 film, Skyfall) will apparently take center-stage in the new film.

After the Spectre teaser trailer was first posted online, it did not take very long for fans and critics to share their reactions and responses to the clip on Twitter.

That SPECTRE trailer sure is serious. Remember when Bond was like this GOOD-TIME GUY in BERMUDA with like 3 chicks going on a SUNNY BEACH?

— LexG (@LexG_III) March 28, 2015

Hello, Spectre trailer. So nice to see you…a couple times…ok, four. #jamesbond #SPECTRE

— Trent (@Tswordsnstuff) March 28, 2015

Watch the Spectre trailer. Notice the nods to the Quantum of Solace and Skyfall story arcs. Feel proud. Repeat.

— Swamy (@slimswamy) March 28, 2015

Even though this is the first Spectre trailer, there will likely be at least a few more trailers released before the film’s November 6, 2015 release date that will shine a little more light on what 007 fans can expect.

‘Spectre’ Teaser Trailer Released Online, Fans React is an article from: The Inquisitr News

Country music group Little Big Town has responded to their new hit single “Girl Crush” being pulled from the radio.

Alana Lynn, one of the morning co-hosts on country music station 104.3 FM in Boise, Idaho, excitedly played the new single for her listeners. Shortly after the song started playing, she received several phone calls from furious listeners, saying that the lyrics to the song were too provocative. The fans were so upset that they even threatened to boycott the station, which is why the station made the decision to pull the song from their lineup.

The lyrics, listeners say, are not age-appropriate for children and promote a “gay agenda,” according to The Washington Post.

“I want to taste her lips, yeah cause they taste like you / I want to drown myself in a bottle of her perfume. I want her long blond hair, I want her magic touch / Yeah cause maybe then, you’d want me just as much… I got a girl crush.”

While some fans have interpreted the lyrics to be about a lesbian couple, Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town says they have got it all wrong.

“The lyric of ‘Girl Crush’ is written in kind of a sexy way. So some people might turn it off when they get to the ‘I want to taste your lips’ and all that. But once they get to the hook they go ‘oh.’ It turns and it’s about a girl saying why do you love her and not me. And that’s what makes it,” Fairchild said during an interview on the Bobby Bones Show on The Big 98. “You’ve got to lean in a little bit, but the fans are really loving this one.”

“To hear that people were misinterpreting it was a little funny,” guitarist Jimi Westbrook said during a phone interview. “I was like, ‘You didn’t even listen past what you thought was offensive!’ There are people who just like to complain and the moment they get to the part they can complain about it, they don’t go any further. I hate it but there’s nothing you can do about it. People are the way they are and God bless ‘em.”

Despite the controversy, the country music scene has remained supportive of the group.

Promoting “the great song agenda”. Thank you @littlebigtown for putting out consistently great music. #girlcrush pic.twitter.com/JZuTBn0irE

— Brothers Osborne (@brothersosborne) March 26, 2015

“I can’t stay off Twitter. Radio stations have been posting photos of themselves in their Girl Crush hats,” Westbrook added. “Pop stations are spinning it out of curiosity. The great thing is that whatever brought people to listen to the song, they’re connecting with it.”

Bobbi Kristina Brown is reportedly showing no signs of improvement after nearly two months, leading sources close to the family to fear that she is permanently brain dead.

The 22-year-old was found unconscious in her bathtub on January 31. She was revived and rushed to a hospital, where she has remained in a medically induced coma.

In February, Bobbi Kristina was recently moved to Emory University Hospital, where she has remained on a ventilator and in a coma. Bobbi suffered another setback when she went into “violent” seizures after doctors tried to take her out of the medically induced coma.

Reports at the time indicated that the daughter of Whitney Houston was brain dead, but family members denied the rumors and asked for privacy.

Now it appears that the reports were correct. This week Bobbi’s grandmother, Cissy Houston, appeared on New York radio station WBLS and said that there was “not a great deal of hope.”

Cissy said she was still praying and hoping for a miracle.

“We’re praying. I don’t pray like that — I give it to God one time, ’cause I know he’s able. And I cannot change a thing. So I’m asking everybody just pray to the Lord, who we know can do something about it. If he works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I’m alright.”

But other sources have confirmed the bleak outlook for Bobbi Kristina Brown. This week a source close to the family told Radar Online that there had been no improvement since she was moved to a rehabilitation center in Atlanta.

“There is no improvement in Bobbi Kristina’s health,” said the source, who was reportedly close to the situation. “She was moved from the hospital to the rehab place because of hospital policy.”

The situation appears to be draining the family, with Bobbi’s boyfriend Nick Gordon lashing out at family members, claiming they did not care for Bobbi as he did. Her father Bobby Brown has also been left heartbroken and called off a planned tour in order to stay by his daughter’s side.

Though the family has been putting off making any kind of final decisions for Bobbi Kristina Brown, sources say that day could be coming soon. Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law, Pat Houston, was seen removing gifts from the hospital and sources said her father Bobby Brown was “devastated” about the decision to take his daughter off life support.

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mills are adding more speculation to their rumored relationship. The “Anaconda” rapper shared a series of photos on her Instagram account. The photos feature Nicki in a full-body fishnet leotard, according to the Celebrity Café. She wore nothing else but black lingerie underneath. The photos also showed Nicki straddling her rumored boyfriend, Meek Mills. The photos were allegedly taken backstage before Nicki’s concert in Paris, France.

You can check out the racy photos for yourself at Nicki Minaj’s official Instagram account.

Ms. Minaj even thanks her “boo” for coming out to see her during the world leg of the Pinkprint Tour. She’s been rumored to have been dating Mill for some time now. Neither Minaj or Mill has confirmed or denied the rumors. But after seeing this racy and scandalous photos on Instagram, fans are thinking that the two rappers are more than just friends.

Both Nicki and Meek have been keeping fans guessing about their relationship, as they shared photos of each other before. Earlier in March, Nicki shared a photo of herself holding onto to Meek’s hand, according to Pulse.com.gh. Fans are wanting them to announce their relationship already.

E! News even reported that Minaj and Mill were also spotted holding hands in Hollywood. The rumored couple was captured by the paparazzi. This just adds to the speculation of his rumored relationship with Ms. Minaj.

This isn’t the first time that dating rumors have followed Nicki. Several reports surfaced saying that she spoke to her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels on Instagram. Nicki tweeted: “If I wanted to start confessing my love to an ex, I’d call or text. Social media isn’t the place.”

The Inquisitr previously reported that Minaj’s relationship with Meek isn’t as perfect as it looks on social media. In fact, the two have been fighting so much that they often “don’t even speak to each other for days.” Minaj was to blame for her fiery attitude.

“I think that Meek thinks that she is too arrogant and demanding and he is not used to dealing with girls with strong personalities like that so maybe that is one reason why they are having so much fights.”

The report also noted that Nicki is currently on tour with Meek. Some fans are wondering if fireworks will spark – and not in a good way – during the remainder of their tour. The Pinkprint Tour will include Minaj herself along with Meek Mill, Def Loaf, Tinashe, and Rae Sremmurd.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s relationship with Meek Mill? Do you think the two are displaying too much affection on social media?

A mom of seven was stabbed to death in Arizona, and the man allegedly responsible has a history of violence dating back more than a decade.

This week police in Goodyear charged John Leo Davis Jr. with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his wife Michele Davis.

The incident took place Thursday night at the home the couple shared in the Southwest Valley. Reports claimed that John Leo Davis Jr. struck his young son for playing video games, and the child told his mother. She allegedly confronted John, and the two began arguing.

The children then saw the husband pick up a knife and chase his wife to the front door, where Michele Davis was later found in a pool of blood.

John’s 14-year-old daughter called police and said that she saw her mother being stabbed, and then watched as John Leo Davis Jr. washed the knife in the kitchen sink.

Davis then called police and allegedly made incriminating statements, crying and apologizing as the told dispatchers that he snapped.

Now reports are uncovering a long history of alleged violence from the man who police say stabbed the mom of seven to death. John Leo Davis Jr. had been arrested in Utah in 2008 on suspicion of child abuse and assaulting Michele. He was arrested in 2006 and two times in the 1990s on suspicion of battery against a spouse, AZ Central found.

After Michele Davis was murdered, the seven children were removed from the home and are now under the care of relatives. The three youngest children, ages 3, 5, and 9, belong to the couple. Michele had two children, ages 11 and 15, while Davis had a 12-year-old, a 14-year-old, and a 16-year-old who was not at home when the stabbing took place.

Friends and family are now trying to help the family after the mom of seven was stabbed to death. Some friends that attend school with the children started a GoFundMe page, which has already raised more than $3,000 to help the family.

The page noted the following.

“We recently received word that a terrible tragedy has befallen on four of our fellow Legacy Traditional School-Avondale students. While we unfortunately, are unable to share full details at this time, we are reaching out to the Legacy Community and surrounding areas asking for funds to assist this family with expenses as they struggle through this extremely difficult time. If there is anything you can give right now, whether $5 or $50 or more, it will truly be appreciated.”

The man police say stabbed the mom of seven to death appeared without a lawyer before a judge, who set bond at $2 million.

Every few years, there is a new generation of wrestlers that appear at WrestleMania, and take the wrestling world into another era. John Cena may have hit his prime already, but he’s still a big part of it all. Still, a few years back, he was scheduled to face off with a legend at WrestleMania, but an injury pulled the iconic match off the card.

With all going on out in Santa Clara, California, for WrestleMania 31, Hulk Hogan sat down for a Q&A session with the National. During this interview, Hogan revealed that a huge match was set for the big event a few years ago.

“WrestleMania 25, I was supposed to take on John Cena. But my back blew out. I was in the middle of my fifth or sixth back surgery and I was supposed to wrestle John. That was the most disappointing one, not being there.”

WrestleMania 25 was ruled by the incredible match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, but a match between Hogan and Cena would have been immense. Due to the match not happening, Hogan wasn’t on the card and Cena faced off against Edge and Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Now, Hulk Hogan is hoping to fight one more match, and he wants it to be in WWE. The 61-year-old icon of wrestling doesn’t feel as if he’s done even though he hasn’t wrestled since back in 2006. He thinks he could go, if against the right person.

“If you put me in the ring right now with someone’s that over, and when I mean over I mean we just look at each other like the Rock and the crowd starts rumbling. If you put me in the ring right now with Roman Reigns, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock or John Cena’ I could tear it down right now. The thing is getting everybody else talked into letting me do that! Vince McMahon [the WWE chairman] had his last match when he was 66 or 67 and I am only 61 years old. I am a lot younger than him’ and Vince is the guy who says never say never. So I am going to hang on to that for a while”

As WrestleZone pointed out, Hogan mentioned that The Undertaker is still wrestling and preparing to fight at WrestleMania 31, even after a year off. The thing he needs to remember is that Undertaker is 50, a full 11 years younger than Hogan.

John Cena has already faced off with one WWE legend that was out of wrestling for a while in The Rock. That was a successful feud and one that brought tons of attention to WWE. A feud between Cena and an aging Hulk Hogan culminating at WrestleMania could very well do the same.

If a passenger opens an emergency exit and jumps off a plane, you would think security would try and stop the person. But when 30-year-old Akash Jain leaped 15 feet to the tarmac, he was able to calmly walk into the air terminal before security was informed 35 minutes later.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, Germanwings co-pilot Andresa Lubitz has been wrongly identified in media photos due to a mishap with the girlfriend’s Twitter account.

Just in the last several months, multiple passengers have opened emergency exits, with some being angry or others simply wanting some fresh air. To give you an idea how easily it for a passenger to open an emergency exit on a Jet Airways plane, earlier in March a 42-year-old man said he pulled the door handle and accidentally unlocked and opened the emergency exit.

“I thought it was just like the handrail on the bus, which I can hold on to by myself if I find myself sitting unsteadily,” he said, according to the Straits Times, noting it was the first time he had sat near an emergency exit door on a plane.

In this new incident, Jet Airways’ Chandigarh-Mumbai flight 9W469 had just landed when Akash Jain opened the emergency exit right in the middle of the aircraft, alighted onto the wing, and jumped down to the ground. Shocked passengers informed the crew, but by time the flight personnel responded, Jain was already long gone.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage showed Jain casually strolling down the tarmac, only stopping to ask directions to the exit from a loading working another flight parked at the air terminal. All in all, it took Jain about five minutes to reach the air terminal after the passenger absconded, but Jet Airways staff did not inform security for 35 minutes. He even had time to walk around and buy a drink before he hired a rickshaw to help him leave.

According to an unnamed airport official, if a passenger open emergency exits on a plane, why did it take Jet Airways so long to call it in.

“If the incident took place after the aircraft landed, why didn’t the airline security staff inform the security agencies immediately? Why did they need 35 minutes to do so?” the airport official asked, according to Mid-Day. “The passenger took 10 minutes to leave the terminal premises and the scenario would have been completely different had the local police and security agencies at the airport been informed immediately. Without being informed, the security agencies had no reason to think that Jain was not just another passenger and prevent him from entering the arrivals building from the air side.”

Police arrested the man, but officers believe it’s possible he has a mental illness, and it’s said he ran away from home using stolen family money.

“Jain was returning to Mumbai from Pune when we nabbed him from Kherwadi,” said inspector Rajendra Nagbhire, according to the Times of India. “He had bought a ticket across the counter, so we didn’t have a lot of details on him. We had some contact numbers and got in touch with his uncle in Jalandhar, who said they had filed a missing person’s complaint for him with the local police.”

A Jet Airways spokesperson say they are “carrying out further investigations,” but experts believe it’s fairly “bizarre” that Akash Jain managed to make it so far.

Controversial clothing manufacturer American Apparel is often known for their sexually charged advertisements and constant use of underage, amateur models. Now, the company is holding a casting call asking for “real models,” not “Instagram hoes” or “THOTs.”

That’s what an email stated from casting agent Phira Luon that was obtained by the New York Post.

“[The] company is going through a rebranding image so will be shooting models moving forward,” Luon wrote in a March 18 email blast. “Real models. Not Instagram hoes or THOTs.”

The American Apparel casting call also features a young woman with her head next to man’s leg. The models appear to be naked and laying in bed together. This email and its use of “hoes” and “thots,” which is slang for “that ho over there,” has caused an uproar with models and feminists on social media. It also forced Luon to apologize, according to Design & Trend.

The casting call agent said that the email was “an inappropriate off color joke that was not intended to defame the clients’ name or philosophy/views in any way.”

A spokesperson from American Apparel also released a statement through the Huffington Post.

“It’s just completely false that American Apparel is only using professional models, and we have had and continue to have public casting calls on our calendar.

We continue to look for diverse models of all sizes and backgrounds that look great in our clothes, and these open casting calls play a key role. Suggestions to the contrary are the result of an email written by a non-American Apparel employee that does not reflect our company’s beliefs in any way, and they have since apologized for writing it.”

This comes at just the right time, when American Apparel is trying to clean up its hyper-sexualized image. Cosmopolitan U.K. also noted that the company has had a ruling made against them for including underage models in their sexualized ad campaigns. The brand also announced earlier this week that they will airbrush nipples and pubic hair from the images on their website.

However, it seems like American Apparel doesn’t want to accept any responsibility for coming up with the words “Instagram hoes” and “thots” in their casting call, according to MSNBC.

PhotoGenics, a modeling and fashion agency in L.A., were the ones who allegedly sent the email, not American Apparel itself. Cynthia Erland, senior vice president of marketing, said that the email was surprising to see.

“We were not aware of the email PhotoGenics planned to send, and want to reiterate that its content does not reflect our core values, nor did I communicate that we are rebranding the company. We plan to maintain the DNA of the brand.

American Apparel did not hire PhotoGenics, and only called him as any apparel company calls an agency for a casting call. He was not hired or under any contract with American Apparel.”

American Apparel has stuck to their promise of using “real models” in their ad campaigns and on their website. They are still currently accepting amateur model submissions through their website, according to Sugarscape. The American Apparel submission page reads as follows.

“We find our models all over the world, through online submissions, word of mouth, and in retail stores, where we’ve been known to do an impromptu test shoot or two. Our ads have always been indicative of a time and place in American Apparel’s identity, which has evolved into a 12,000 employee worldwide collaboration.”

American Apparel’s plans for breaking away from its sexed up image isn’t work yet. The brand still has a lot to learn about respecting women as it changes its image.

The Clintons have reached their goal of making it back into the White House. Of course, this White House is a backdrop on an off-Broadway stage. The show, scheduled to open in April, reportedly highlights Bill Clinton’s many flaws in a humorous way.

Clinton The Musical was created by Australian brothers who, while eager to make fun of the president, also saw promise in the idea. Some memorable Bill Clinton moments covered in the play include his “baby-boomer title, national televised musicianship and of course, being impeached.”

Along with those moments America can’t forget is an intriguing character list that is sure to draw people to the theater. The characters in Clinton The Musical include Dick Morris, Newt Gingrich, Monica Lewinsky, and former Clinton special prosecutor Kenneth Starr. Each of the characters as the world remembers have their own flaws to add to the story and, most importantly, to the humor.

On a more serious note, the creators of Clinton The Musical have expressed the true importance of the production. Reportedly, Former president Clinton is a beloved figure to the American people and to the world. One creator, Paul Hodge, has stated that this admiration is due to Bill’s evident humanity.

“The thing that endeared Bill Clinton and continues to endear him to the American public is that he was a very identifiable human being. He was clearly human and he had flaws like everyone.”

The music in the production consists of both motivational songs like “A Starr Is Born,” and numbers that show Clinton’s frisky side like “Sexual Relations.” The title “Sexual Relations,” in itself, is sure to ignite controversy due to the fact that it is derived from a direct quote Bill Clinton made once his cheating allegations began.

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”

The musical is expected to hit a few nerves and cause a lot of laughs. Mostly, the creators hope that the familiarity of the storyline will bring a sense of warmth to the crowd. Tony Award winning director Dan Knechtges vividly describes the atmosphere of the musical.

“It really does its job of taking down America and uplifting it at the same time, in a weird sort of way.”

Knechtges has expressed that stories like that of Bill Clinton are flawed American tales that are never well-kept secrets. In his opinion, it is in the nature of modern society to seek all the dirty details of people’s lives without a single thought of privacy.

“Nothing is sacred.”

Clinton The Musical will open on April 9 at New World Stages, according to NOLA. Bill Clinton is the first former U.S. president to have a musical made about him.

Fans who want to watch WrestleMania 31 live online are in luck, as the WWE is offering plenty of options for streaming the year’s biggest wrestling event on computers, tablets, and many other devices.

Start time for WrestleMania 31 is 7 p.m. ET on Sunday. The event takes place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, making it just the sixth WrestleMania to take place at an outdoor venue.

WrestleMania 31 comes after one of the most eventful years in WWE history, which included the departure of one of its biggest names in CM Punk and a stock dive that led to rumors that Vince McMahon would be removed as head of the WWE.

The lead-up to WrestleMania 31 has brought some criticism as well, with fans openly booing Roman Reigns when he won Royal Rumble and earning a shot at Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

But the WWE did retain a bit of momentum this week when Lesnar put an end to speculation he would return to MMA and instead re-signed with the WWE.

“While many complained about the ‘build’ to this WrestleMania being tepid in the eyes of some, the game changed drastically when Lesnar declared his intentions [to stay in WWE by signing a new contract] on ESPN [on the] Tuesday [before WrestleMania],” said longtime WWE announcer Jim Ross (via PWTorch).

While 2014 saw its share of lows, it also brought a new dimension for fans. Last year the WWE also rolled out its new WWE Network, a subscription-based streaming service offering both new and archived content. Despite a somewhat shaky rollout, the network has been a success, with the New York Times saying the WWE “positioned themselves on the cutting edge of Internet television.”

For wrestling fans who want to watch WrestleMania 31 live online, the WWE Network offers the best — and cheapest — way to watch the entire event. Viewers who want to watch the event for free will be out of luck, as there are no free options (at least, no legal ones) for watching the WWE’s biggest event. But the WWE Network offers a great deal, with a $9.99 monthly fee that includes all Pay Per View events and the ability to cancel at any time.

Here is the full list of matches scheduled for WrestleMania 31:

Pre-Show

Fatal 4-Way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship

André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Main event
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns

Sting vs. Triple H

Ladder match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Bad News Barrett (c) vs. R-Truth vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Stardust vs. Daniel Bryan

The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt

AJ Lee and Paige vs. The Bella Twins

Katy Perry is real simple when it comes to dating. She doesn’t want a dinner and a movie. In fact, she would rather go on a hike! Katy revealed during an interview with Mario Lopez on a Q&A panel on what she would like to do on a date. The interview was quoted by People Magazine.

“[My] ideal date is really just so simple. I like connections and conversations and jokes. I just like really good food, so dinner and maybe a movie ‘ I love a documentary. [I’d love] to be able to go on a hike and not turn it into a thing.”

Though Perry is simple when it comes to dating, she does appreciate it when a man goes all out on a date. When Lopez asked the “Roar” singer what would be the best way to ask her out, she responded: “On a hike via helicopter!”

Music-News.com reported that Katy has ended her relationship with John Mayer. She was reportedly tired of his womanizing ways.

“She wanted to play John at his own game. Katy’s been in a state of constant jealousy during their on/off relationship, and wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine,” an insider told British magazine Grazia previously of her decision to flirt with Winston. “When they got back together, John promised that things would be different this time, so she agreed to give him another chance, but rumours of his philandering continue. She decided that if he’s not going to fully commit, neither will she. Her hope was that if John saw her socialising with other men, he’d see what he stands to lose.”

Now it looks like Perry wants to get even with Mayer. She was recently spotted flirting with Mumford & Sons banjo player Winston Marshall after his gig in Berlin. It was also reported that Perry was reportedly dating Mayer during the time she was spotted with the musician.

Hollywood Life reported that she had a “hot hookup” with him while she was also on tour in Germany. It sounds like Winston was able to snag a date with Katy. The two were spotted at a nightclub called Schwuz where they were getting quite cozy with each other, according to a source.

“Katy is having the time of her life partying on her tour. She was in Germany getting crazy with drag queens and going to nightclubs well into the early hours of the morning!”

“She hooked up with Winston Marshall of Mumford and Sons just last Saturday. They were totally making out and ended up leaving the party they were at to spend the night together at Katy’s private hotel.”

“Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the romance will be ongoing. Katy just considered it a ‘crazy little fling’ and is enjoying the single life.”

Katy Perry is just enjoying the single life at the moment. Since splitting from John Mayer, she just wants to have fun as she finishes up her Prismatic World Tour. EPIX will feature her concert film Katy Perry: The Prismatic World Tour on Saturday night at 8 p.m.

Since the 1950s, contemporary art has been the blanket term to classify popular styles of art created during specific decades. At the turn of the new millennium, popular contemporary art styles being utilized included street art, video game art, virtual art, urban art, street art, and even a Kitsch Movement. With the aforementioned styles above, the last decade (2001 to 2010) had an estimated total of sixteen different art styles. Unfortunately, it is also the fewest styles a decade has compared to previous decades.

Despite the decline in new art styles, there are still artists who push beyond the creative threshold set by those who came before them. One such artist is Mike Dargas, known for utilizing an art style showing prominence this decade (2011 to 2020), hyperrealism. To understand what this art style is, all an individual has to do is imagine if a high-definition picture were painted. That’s hyperrealism.

According to Huffington Post, Mike Dargas, the Cologne-based painter, found inspiration through Blake Little’s photo series of honey-covered people for his latest series of hyperreal paintings. Initiating it back in 2014, Dargas experimented with a variety of different liquids to add the anomalous texture of honey to women’s faces, something he chose because its consistency caught his eye.

“It’s [honey] transparency and reflections are perfect for my realistic works.”

It was also reported the process of painting hyperrealism is quite painstaking. Being an artist myself (primarily speed realism portraits), I can back the reported statement as true. Generally, hyperrealism is artistically pursued on a minute scale using mediums known for precision. Therefore, most original hyperrealistic works of art are smaller in size and made using professional colored pencils. Though there are exceptions, to generally pull off hyperrealism for paintings, artists must use a lot of paint on a large canvas. That is why almost all hyperrealistic paintings are large in size, including works by Mike Dargas.

Despite this hindrance, it is one hyperrealism artists are willing to suffer to create an authentic work of art that looks, as stated earlier, looks like a high-definition photograph. More of Mike Dargas’ painting can be viewed at Artnau through Ignant. Select paintings have been attached in the gallery below including a WIP (work in progress).

Fans of European football can watch live online as England travels to Turin to face Italy Tuesday in an international friendly that will see the Three Lions seeking revenge for a 2-1 defeat to the Italians in last year’s World Cup in Manaus, Brazil.

Information and a link to watch the England Vs. Italy match live online can be found below.

Both sides will be coming off group stage qualifiers for the 2016 UEFA European Championships, to be held in France next year.

England maintained a 100 percent record in Group E, winning their fifth straight by blowing out overmatched Lithuania 4-0 on Friday at Wembley Stadium in London.

The highlight of the otherwise routine victory was a goal just over a minute into his England debut by 21-year-old Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane. With his 29 goals for Spurs so far in the 2014/15 season, Kane literally shot his way into the England side. But manager Roy Hodgson was in no rush to get the young star his first taste of top-level international competition.

Hodgson held Kane on the bench until just over 70 minutes had gone by and goals from Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Raheem Sterling had squelched any vain hopes of an upset Lithuania might have held.

But just 79 seconds after setting foot on the Wembley pitch, Kane took a cross from Welbeck and put a header into the net.

While the England boss has not yet announced how he plans to use Kane against Italy, he may have no choice but to give the upstart London native more playing time, because three more players — Welbeck, James Milner and Leighton Baines — have all returned to their Barclays Premier League clubs nursing injuries. Liverpool’s own 20-year-old, Raheem Sterling, also pulled out of the Italy friendly.

That leaves England with just 17 outfield players available for selection by Hodgson.

Italy, on the other hand, fought to a 2-2 draw Saturday against Bulgaria in the Eastern European nation’s capital city of Sofia. But Italy is facing other distractions as well, with Manager Antonio Conte, who has held the job for a mere eight months, already questioning whether he wants to keep the job.

Conte has reportedly been the target of death threats from fans of his former Serie A side Juventus, after Juve midfielder Claudio Marchisio was injured in training with Italy.

Fans blamed Conte for the injury, outraged that he supposedly demanded too much from the Juventus star.

Kickoff for the England vs. Italy international friendly is scheduled for 2:40 pm United States Eastern Time on March 31, with the match carried live online by ESPN3 at this link, or on mobile devices by downloading the WatchESPN app.
